Background: The illegal use of anabolic and androgenic steroids is a public health problem, so that their side effects in women are completely different from those shown in men. Objectives: This study aimed comparison of the effect of eight weeks of Propolis, Chicory, and Resistance training on histopathological and morphometric changes of uterine tissue in rats consuming Testosterone enanthat...

In two independent experiments, acclimatized chicory plants were transferred into an aeroponic system and to the soil. Then, the effects of biofertilizer (Nitrokara) and culture filtrate of Piriformospora indica were investigated on some plant characteristics in both aeroponic and soil cultivation system under greenhouse conditions. The plants were foliar sprayed with three different biofertili...

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the fresh mass scarlet eggplant (kg/pl) and number leaves chicory (nºf/pl) in relation spacing used by farmers region for both crops. experiment evaluated these crops under intercropping cultivation system, varying rows between as well harvests (cycle each crop), monocropping systems. treatments were T1= 0.7x1.1 m (monocropping); T2= intercropped e...

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the antibacterial properties of a plant secondary metabolite - caffeine. Caffeine is present in over 100 plant species. Antibacterial activity of caffeine was examined against the following plant-pathogenic bacteria: Ralstonia solanacearum (Rsol), Clavibacter michiganesis subsp. sepedonicus (Cms), Dickeya solani (Dsol), Pectobacterium atrosepti...

Some vegetables have the ability to accumulate cadmium (Cd)at levels that are toxic most other plants. The objective of thisstudy was evaluate Cd accumulation and its effects on edible vegetables. Three species were tested: watercress (Barbarea verna); chicory (Cichorium endivia); rocket (Eruca sativa) four doses (0; 1.5; 3.0; 6.0 mg kg-1), with three replications. We evaluated concentration, f...

Chicory (Cichoriumintybus L.) is an important industrial crop which is used for inulin production. Inulin is widely applied as food ingredient due to its health promoting properties. For the first time, attempts were made to investigate thirteen endemic chicory genotypes including three pumilum populations, along with five root chicory cultivars, four witloof chicory varieties and a crispum end...

In nature, fructans are synthesized from sucrose by various microbial and plant species. Depending on the source, fructans can contain from two to more than a hundred thousand fructose units linked by β-(2→1) (inulin-type) or β(2→6) (levan-type) glycosidic bonds. Bacteria produce levan or inulin polymers via a one-enzyme process aimed to confer competitiveness in the interaction with the host p...
